Die In Game Of Thrones For $20,000

George R.R. Martin Will Kill You For The Bargain-Basement Price Of Just $20,000

Want to join the cast of Game of Thrones in the literary graveyard? (We'd list all the dead characters, but we don't have enough space.) George R.R. Martin can make that happen for you — for a price. And that price is your life. Just kidding, it's $20,000.

The deal is part of a crowdfunding campaign the author is running right now to support the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in New Mexico. There are many pledge tiers that come with various benefits. For instance, $50 will get you a T-shirt from the campaign, and $350 will get you a signed map of Westeros. But if you want to take it all the way, Martin is offering two lucky (and wealthy) fans the opportunity to appear — and also be killed — in an upcoming novel for 20 grand. No word on whether said death will carry over to the HBO series.

With the way things are going in Game of Thrones, you pretty much have to die to be considered one of the in-crowd, so the reward seems appropriate.
